Haunted - 3D

Years ago, I watched the first Bollywood 3D horror movie ever made, HAUNTED, and I was surprised by how good it was. Yes, in Bollywood fashion, it goes on forever and has random dance and song sequences, but they fit, and the movie is actually really a good story and kinda scary.

I may lack objectivity because the lead actress, Twinkle Bashpai, was ridiculously gorgeous in the role.

Sadly, the film is nearly impossible to find... no streaming anywhere, no listing on Just watch, it's like it doesn't exist. I got lucky and found a single DVD copy for sale on Amazon and grabbed it up to watch again.

If anyone has seen this movie, which I doubt, please comment... or if you find it available, please let us know... for the curious, seek it out. 🙂

Another Vikram Bhatt magic horror Flick after 1920,Shaapit & Raaz.

But the surprising thing is Mimoh (Mithun's son)'s acting.The girl also acted well and the ghost also acted well.

Some potion of movie(mainly makeup and horror activities) is inspired from Exorcist(which is common for every horror movie).But its not a bad thing..Because Exorcist is the benchmark.

The story is interesting.A ghost can not safe herself from another ghost.

Music is good.Direction is top notch.Camera work is also good.

Now waiting 4 Vikram Bhatt'r next horror Flick-Raaz 3 :D

My rating for this movie 9/10

Must watch this movie

Nice story ..yes you can watch this movie at once..!! But editing & climax could have been batter...!!

Wow. Can't imagine that I just watched a Bollywood horror flick that is absolutely amazing and flawless.

Hats off to the writer (Amin Hajee) and director (Vikram Bhatt). I loved 1920 and considered it to the best Indian horror movie but after watching Haunted I feel this one is slightly better with a solid writing and a very engrossing screenplay.

The acting by all the actors was top class. Songs and background score were fantastic. Those who enjoy horror stuff should not miss this one.

I hope Vikram Bhatt and camp would stick to the same formula of doing non-vulgar and non-erotic stuff (1920, Shaapit and Haunted) and I am sure they will succeed next time as well.

I am going to watch Haunted a few more times.

Haunted is a spine chilling 3-D extravaganza offered by Vikram Bhatt.The director has created another enjoyable horror flick after movies like raaz,1920 etc and has an excellent combination of horror and technical perfection.The movie does entertain the viewers,but the storyline is seen many a time before and may result in a less critical acclaim for it.The 2.15 hour long movie is a visual treat for the mass viewers who look for entertainment and not recommended for the critics who look for story inside the story and so.

Synopsis::Rehan,a real-estate broker comes to sell an haunted mansion which has a sympathetic story behind it and tries to unlock the mystery there.

Performances::Mahakshay Chakraborthy(earlier Mimoh Chakraborthy) has certainly grown up in his acting skills from his debut movie Jimmy,but can improve more.Tia Bajpai(Sa re ga ma pa challenge fame) has done her role with full commitment and requires appreciation.Arif Zakaria does another good job as he have always done before.

Music by Chirantan Bhatt is absolutely brilliant and amazing(my personal favorite album of 2011) and the songs are really soothing to the ears.All the songs ranging from a hearty ""Tum ho mera pyar " by K.K to an ear-haunting Sau baras by Tia Bajpai are excellently crafted and deserves a 9/10.

Some +ves::An excellent background score and hummable music.*The entertaining Full-3d effects,which is a novel experience for Indian viewers,who could witness it only in Avatar before.*Some good horror scenes,which make you jump off the seats.*Cinematography by Praveen Bhatt which is catchy for the eyes of the viewers.

Some -ves::The similarity of plot to films like Hawa.*The lengthy narration of the movie.*Some scenes in the first half, which are too graphic.

Verdict::Haunted is a visual treat for the mass viewers,who goes to the cinema hall to get entertainment only.The plot may be old and seen before,but is sure to scare you and is paisa vasool.

Ma Rating::8/10
